Recipes

This Winter I have decided that I want to make sure we always have a hot meal in the evenings when everyone is home so I have come up with
these Chicken Soup and Turkey Soup Recipes. I will probably use our bread-maker to make a fresh loaf of bread to go along with our soup and occasionally add in a salad or a dessert.

In our home it seems all my middle son ever want’s to eat is chicken. No, matter what I find at the grocery store he refuses to try it. So, today I thought I would compile a list of some new Instant Pot Chicken Recipes we haven’t had before. I am hoping that I can get everyone to sit down and eat together without too much fuss and muss.

I have to admit I am not the one in the house that uses the instant pot very much. I am still a crockpot kinda girl but hubby has loved using the assistant pot and trying to find the perfect bourbon chicken recipe!

Can you believe that Thanksgiving is right around the corner? Which means everywhere you look are items containing Pumpkin. My younger boys have been begging to cook the pumpkins that they got last month during our visit to the pumpkin patch and pumpkin desserts are top of their list! I keep putting off cooking the pumpkins for the time it will take to cook and process. I usually use the stove or crockpot to cook up our pumpkins but why not try the instant pot this year?

This morning I thought I would share some pumpkin dessert recipes with you so that I can have a reference to use and so you can fix for yummy instant pot pumpkin recipes for Thanksgiving. I will use our fresh pumpkin or possibly freeze it for future use but canning it would also work if you have some large pumpkins to put up!

We are super big into having our own garden this year but one thing we don’t have room for is sweet corn. Since my children love sweet corn we usually buy it during the Summer from local farmers but I just discovered that Sunshine Sweet Corn is already in stores now. It’s grown in Florida, non-GMO, and is available at Kroger and Meijer! You don’t have to wait until summer to enjoy sweet corn!

Since it’s Big Red’s birthday month I decided to try a new recipe that uses two of his favorite ingredients sweet corn and strawberries! This will make a great addition for a special birthday dessert. We like to allow our children to help with meal prep when they can and today was no exception!

Valentine’s Day may be one of the sweetest days of the year right after Halloween. Do your children love to cook as much as they enjoy a sweet treat? If so, they should try to make some of these Valentine’s Day treats. Each activity is great for older elementary to make on their own or for preschoolers to make with parental guidance.
